U.S. News ranked Campbell Law School’s Advocacy Program 15th in the nation in 2020 - the only North Carolina law school to make it in the top 20. The Advocacy Program continues to perform well beyond more name-brand schools in traditional advocacy competitions, bringing home regional, national, and international championships. But good advocacy doesn’t just happen in the courtroom. It doesn’t just happen in law offices or what we think of as traditional litigation or trial work. Good advocacy, zealous advocacy, exists everywhere: from boardrooms and classrooms to the floor of a legislative body and in the courtroom well.

When he took over as the director of Campbell’s Advocacy Program, Professor Ghiotto knew he had an opportunity to continue developing Campbell graduates to fulfill the school’s motto: lead with purpose. His background as an Air Force JAG Officer instilled in him a deep appreciation for the intersection between zealous advocacy and leadership. And so he started the law school’s newest program: Lawyers and Leaders.
